For the third straight Olympics, Team USA will be playing in the Olympic finals for the gold medal. They took care of business against Team Spain in the semifinals, winning 82-76.
The low scoring affair was marked by tremendous defense by Team USA. DeAndre Jordan had a dominant game patrolling the interior, blocking 4 shots and hauling in 16 rebounds to help Team USA win the rebounding battle 52-41.
Klay Thompson lead Team USA in scoring with 22 points, and considering how his offensive game has struggled in Rio, it’s encouraging for the team that he elevated his game when it really mattered.
